The Bright Side of Being Sick for 14 days...


After being sick for over a week, my cute kids come in one morning with my toast and orange juice on this plate that looks like a sun with their notes to me as the rays. It says "You are our SUNSHINE!" And "you are a million drops in my life." etc.
It's amazing after having four kids so close together, how independent they have become, especially with Lena as their little mommy, doing everything just like I would. Kind of crazy starting over with a newborn, but exciting all the same. The kids are so different this time. Jacob is older than Lena was when he was born!
Just hope I get over this soon. This has been worse than mono, but at least not as bad as dengue fever.

Oh, it is wretched being sick, but especially when you're pregnant. I hope things clear up and the 'end' goes well. :)
